Thread: Diamond xtreme sound analyze

Diamond Multimedia is a reincarnation of return, pushing a sound card that doubled its xtreme sport real-time encoding of Dolby Digital Live. Based on C-Media CMI 8768, notching with external audio codec’s with these capabilities integrated directly into the chip.

Xtreme Audio is quite analog mode during our gaming tests. In fact, both 3DMark and FEAR Xtreme Audio made a much better frame rate than we have integrated motherboard audio. And, incredibly, par Creative X-Fi Xtreme Audio.

We think we at the point where a 3.46GHz dual-core Pentium Extreme Edition 955 beats per DSP dedicated, even as powerful as X-Fi. Naturally, your mileage may vary depending on your CPU. Xtreme sound held up relatively well in analog mode during our gaming tests. In fact, in both 3DMark and afraid of his shot in xtreme frame rates much better than our integrated motherboard audio. And shockingly, on Xtreme Sound on an equal footing with Creative X-Fi.

All these results go out the window but when you turn on the Dolby Digital Live. With a greater load on the processor, it drops xtreme sound in third place with the frame is dropped from 141fps to 114fps in fear. One would think that with a dual-core CPU encoding Dolby Digital would be out of office in slow motion base, but it did not work that way.
